Install Tectonic

Installation requires the CoreOS License and Pull Secret described in Create a CoreOS account above. Be certain to create an account and enable the 10 free nodes before launching Tectonic Installer.

Follow the on-screen instructions to provision your cluster. This process should take about 10-15 minutes.

When prompted, click Download assets to save all assets generated during the Tectonic Installer process. These assets include configuration files that will allow you to repeat your cluster set up manually, and the terraform.tfstate file, which is required to delete your cluster, when desired.

Once complete click Go to my Tectonic Console to launch the Console, and begin interacting with your cluster.

Use Tectonic Console

For those new to Tectonic and Kubernetes, the Tectonic Tutorials provide walk through instructions on getting started.
